ideas in leading sectors including biometric and security stocks issues
a snapshot for facial recognition stocks.

Biometric technology has become a hot topic in the headlines, from
mobile phone security with Apple (AAPL) to analysts predicting
biometrics will become mainstream technology in the future. Leading tech
companies are introducing fingerprint, facial recognition and voice
recognition technology in everything from social media to mobile and
gaming.
According to a report on Nextgov.com Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE :HPQ)
has just been awarded a $102.8 million contract to upgrade Homeland
Security Department employee identification cards with features that
accommodate iris and facial recognition, according to federal funding
databases.

In late August NXT-ID, Inc (NXTD:OTCQB)
a biometrics company focused on the growing m-commerce market announces
that its wholly owned subsidiary, 3D-ID, LLC commenced a pilot program
with the Palm Bay, FL Police Department to evaluate its 3D FaceMatch™ biometric facial recognition identification systems.
The identification management systems leverage unique and patented
FaceMatch™ 3D technology that precisely senses shape at up to a million
points on a face without using lasers or projected patterns. This
individually unique shape information is compressed into a small 3D
biometric template containing a complete 3D shape signature of that
individual face. This shape signature is rapidly compared to other
templates in a database. Unlike 2D recognition methods where performance
is highly variable depending on scene lighting, head pose, facial
expression, eyewear, facial hair and cosmetics, FaceMatch™ templates and
performance remain invariant over an extremely wide range of imaging
variables. This enables reliable, scalable, and convenient face
recognition solutions.
The system is being used at Palm Bay to enroll inmates into local
detention centers, creating a 3- dimensional database that can be used
in the future to potentially identify persons of interest. Inmates that
are released will also have their identities verified through 3D facial
recognition to prevent the inadvertent release of the wrong individual.
Facebook ( FB)
has caused a lot of controversy and buzz in the social media sector as
they talk about introducing a facial recognition technology to match
faces in photos with public profile features. Facebook acquired a
Face.com in 2012 as part of its roll out strategy. ‘ Yahoo ( YHOO
) also recently announced its acquisition of IQ Engines, a start-up
company in face and image recognition technologies to use for Flickr.
And now facial recognition and biometrics are coming to a game near you.
According to a recent article Sony (SNE)
is incorporating multiple forms of biometrics into the PS4. “With the
use of the PS4 Eye Camera, Sony's next-gen console will now have its own
champion against the Kinect. According to Joystiq, the PS4 Eye Camera
will allow voice and face recognition, so you can easily load up games,
navigate the OS, and give in-game commands. This feature will
immediately be made available for Knack.”http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/507521/20130920/ps4-ps3-games-streaming-eye-camera-kinect.htm
So as biometrics enters all phases of every day life, it creates
new levels of security and controversy over privacy issues. There is
game changing technology to pay attention to for investors.Research Biometrics Stocks with our stock directory http://www.investorideas.com/BPS/Stock_List.aspAbout InvestorIdeas.com: Big Ideas for global investors
